You are a star! :-) I'll give it a try tomorrow at work. > A path information would indeed be nice.

That sounds like a good idea. Maybe I should also try using the code explorer more often. It is a window I for some reason never use. Not in Delphi and not in Lazarus. Umm, maybe that's the source of my navigation problems. ;-) My other thought was a "hint window" that shows for a second or two and then close. Similar to those windows that Mozilla Thunderbird shows when you have new mail waiting. A keyboard shortcut could trigger the hint window, showing things like current method, path, visibility etc... A good default display position might be the top right corner of the editor. I remember the original TSynEdit had a option to show such a hint window while you scrolled the editor, display the line numbers. With a hint window, we could add more and more information, unlike a status bar. Also if you use the Editor Toolbar, a icon could be placed there as well and no keyboard shortcut is required. Obviously as long as the feature is registered somewhere in the IDE menu structure. > On a second thought: Forget it, there is probably already a > patent for this one-click-to-related-stuff. I'm from South Africa, so lets say that feature came from here. We are so slack with rules, nobody would sue. ;-) Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
